River difficulty 4+ out of 5 possible. - Demanding.
Rafting
on Hólmsá River is an action packed rafting trip and is ideal for those
who are looking for action. All the fun and challenging rapids a rwhite water rafting trip can
possibly hold are in this case jammed together into one river. Huge
waves, giant holes and mini waterfalls are on the menu for River Action.
We
bypass a beautiful waterfall on our way and see the spring water of
Hólmsá River mix with the brown glacial water of Leirá River. The
natural surroundings are quite interesting; everything from barren lava
to green pastures and woods.The lower section of the river is a continuous stretch of massive waves and hostile holes so participants need to realize they might have to undertake some rough swim if the fall aboard or if a raft flips.
The Hólmsá River has been shortlisted for the Rafting World Championship so we can guarantee that this is the real deal.
This trip is just for those that have rafted before!
